Your sign...

Female: Cancer women are often the archetype of the mother. Even so, they are also sensual and intensely sexual partners with those they choose to love. This is a woman confident about her sensuality when she is in love, but can be completely closed off when she is not. Rarely yielding to any excess, she knows how to maintain balance and stability in her life. On the emotional side, Cancer women feel intensely but are discreet with their emotions around strangers. They are rather reserved and want to preserve their privacy. They are particularly cautious in their choices and decisions. This is a woman who knows how to be attentive and generous to her loved ones, but especially to her family. For her, all relationships must be based on mutual exchange, and especially on sharing. What drives her, above all, is the feeling of having pleased her loved ones by giving the best of herself. Like all the water signs, she overflows with imagination. Creation through her body, with children, or through art exemplifies this energy in her life. She can get her creative energy out into the world because she is a serious and persistent woman, with a keen sense of organization.

Male: The male Cancer is renowned for his wisdom. He will make the effort to be well-educated, polite, courteous, and respectful. He works hard to make the right decisions and fully assumes his responsibilities and obligations. He wants to be sure to fill the protector role in his family and among his friends and co-workers. He assumes that it is imperative to know where he comes from and be aware of everything he has been through before making his next steps or important decisions. This connection to the past provides him with the foundation to act with confidence and get himself through difficult times. Cancer men often function as the emotional leader of any group, whether he is the actual leader or not. They tend to be more sensitive and compassionate as men than any other sign, apart from Pisces. For this reason, they inspire almost fanatical loyalty from people who follow or interact with them. Because they have Cardinal qualities, they can also be extremely demanding. Even if they try to avoid conflicting relationships as much as they can, this does not prevent them from acting out emotionally when something does not suit them. This kind of behavior sometimes leads them to be passive-aggressive or manipulative.

As a child: Cancer children prefer to spend time with their family: parents, grandparents, and siblings. They need plenty of emotional support and guidance while they are growing up. Any time they transgress or need correcting, it should be done with compassion and "gentle firmness". Make sure they know the relationship is unharmed and will remain intact even if someone is disappointed or upset. The Cancer child will not be able to move on until emotional balance and positivity is restored for everyone involved. The best rule of thumb for learning is to make sure the relationships with their teachers are emotionally satisfying and positive. If the parent must get involved, it will be important to understand how the child feels in any given situation. They can be successful when doing tasks with other children or adults that allow them to "be part of something".

As a parent: The Cancer parent prefers to be fully attuned to the emotions of his or her child. If the situation calls for dealing with a crisis, the Cancer parent will jump right in and look for a compassionate, nurturing, and healing solution. The parent will expect emotional responsibility from their children, properly developed at each stage of life. These are the parents that can become helicopter parents, so concerned with the well-being of their children that they rarely "rest" even after the child becomes an adult.

In friendship: As far as friends are concerned, Cancer will have an inner circle and spread out from there. The first friendships are within the family. So, the closest friendships are the ones that become the extended family. Cancer puts tremendous energy into the people they care about so they are almost always the friend others come to rather than the friend in need. If you need a shoulder to cry on, this is the friend you want around.

At work: People born under the star sign of Cancer like to take care of other people. That's why natives generally work as healers, caretakers, and nurturers in whatever work they do or business they join. They have the ability to concentrate intensely and work tirelessly; they can easily become the "glue" that holds an organization together. While it is part of traditional astrology to suggest some jobs are Cancer jobs and other jobs belong to other signs, that concept is outdated. Essentially, any sign can do any job, whether the person is a hairdresser, surgeon, stay-at-home parent, fighter pilot, and on and on. Ideally, the person doing the job needs to be able to do the work in alignment with his or her sign. Cancer prefers to be emotionally involved, compassionate and working towards an important shared goal when it comes to work and career.

In love: Cancer loves to flirt, but only if there is a chance for something serious. If there is no long-term possibility, the flirting door is tightly shut! They are in love for the long haul and bring tremendous intensity to their intimate partnership. They are one of the most desirable signs to have as a partner because they will go to any lengths for the one they love, which should never be underestimated. Since they know their value, they expect to be pursued, and can be hard to get. Nothing worthwhile comes easy; they know they are worthwhile, which is why they are not easy.
